The Goinkars Own Academy Description > About Us: The Goinkars Own Academy was established in 2001, as the Goans of Pakistan joined hands with organizations/associations the world over to celebrate World Goa Day. World Goa Day (WGD) was introduced to commemorate the anniversary of the inclusion of Konkani in the 8th Schedule of the Indian Constitution by the Indian Parliament on the 20th August 1992, when Konkani was recognized as one of the official languages of India. WGD is celebrated as a day for Goans worldwide to focus and take pride in their identity, culture, language, traditions, music, cuisine, etc. The first World Goa Day was held on 20 August 2000. The objective was to unite Goans all over the world in a day of common celebration. Goinkars Own Academy has made a name for it selves in Karachi as well as worldwide, as it not only promotes the Goan Culture, but also keeps alive our Amchi Mai Bhas Konkani. This association also arranges various events/outings i.e. Recollection Day, Weekend trips, Picnics, Movie Night, Family Day, visit to various homes, resultantly bringing the community together socially and spiritually.
